Bill > HB324

This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 15.334 to mandate that all law enforcement basic training courses include at least eight hours of training on crisis intervention and de-escalation techniques, which are methods to help officers manage tense situations and prevent them from escalating into violence. Additionally, the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet will provide training on domestic violence and abuse, as well as crisis intervention and de-escalation, which officers must complete at least once every two years, and this training can be delivered using current technology. The bill removes outdated language regarding specific training deadlines and requirements for sexual assault investigation courses, streamlining the existing law to focus on the new crisis intervention and de-escalation mandates.
